Do You Have Any Comments or Questions?

  1. No. Registered for facilitator training and looking forward to it.

  2. At this point I intend to join on a monthly schedule and participate, bringing my own experiences to the meeting and helping to understand and enhance the experiences of the others, all of us growing in understanding with more depth what empathy is and how to use it for good.


What topics would you suggest for future CoPeSe Empathy Cafes?

  1. What can one person do to help advance world peace?

  2. Offer specific topics for breakout rooms. Ex: dialogues on HOW TO reduce gun violence

  3. The understanding that while many experiences of each is different, many are relatable on similar levels and can be understood through analogy and "empathy", helping to learn how to heal and help others heal and open up with a level of trust and vulnerability that is not typical in our daily lives with our "best friends" and the like.


Will you attend another Empathy Café? 3 yes

(A1) If Yes, what is the reason you will attend again?

  1. To continue to gain skills and practice in the art of connecting deeply with others.

  2. good approach to resolving conflict; practice listening skill building

  3. I see great inner value for myself in learning how to cope with my own pain, and how to speak with others about their pain, offering a level of comfort and support which again, is not typical with those we have daily contact with, from family to friends, even to counselors possibly.
